Rose of Sharon Jewelry

Spring parties can be a great occasion to show off a new dress and why not a new necklace from Rose of Sharon Jewelry!

I’ve tucked away my winter jewelry (necklaces that work with sweaters or heavier denim outfits) and am making some new pieces to match some favorite bright floral shirts.

If you aren’t a jewelry artist – then the best way to spruce up your Spring wardrobe would be to buy one (or more since we don’t have any shopping limits) of the beautiful handmade designs from us. Can you tell I’m a bit biased?

Here are a few of my personal favorites – and we have dozens more in the main Rose of Sharon Jewelry store, in our Etsy store for the A.F.F. Jewelry collection and in our New Life Jewelry Art shop at ArtFire.

Spring Flowers

Betty’s April Remembered features a lovely enameled floral pendant with SWAROVSKI ELEMENT® crystals.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The focal bead of Dahlia Princess is a magnificent handcrafted lampwork bead with pink flowers. This necklace and earring set is truly a work of art.

 

 

 

Sunny Colors

The bright and cheery colors of Spring are great complexion enhancers. The reflection from the crystals makes your eyes twinkle too!

The tumbled natural citrine beads in this bracelet move slightly so it reminds you of a charm bracelet. Capturing the Sun is a great bracelet choice for daily wear as it goes with everything!

 

Golden Donut is one of Dena’s lovely wire wrapped pendants. The unique golden Chalcedony is a sunny color without being too bright.

Spring Gifts

Graduations, birthdays and anniversaries are great reasons to give a piece of handmade jewelry. Each one-of-a-kind design says “I care.”

Morning Star is one of Betty’s handmade Cross necklaces. The sterling silver cross features white topaz and hangs from a hand wired necklace.

Swingtime is a long draping pair of earrings created from natural peridot. The fresh green color is perfect for the season.

Let’s Twist Again is a purple lover’s dream. Sarah combined twisted amethyst briolette shaped beads with some round lavender stripped fluorite beads for a fresh, fun look.

Don’t forget that our Birthday Club members always receive a $15 discount coupon during their birthday month. Join today at Rose of Sharon Jewelry Birthday Club.  We also offer new member discounts immediately upon signing up.

Thanks for stopping by again. Don’t forget to check out the newest releases in the Rose of Sharon Jewelry store.

Rich emerald green is May’s birthstone but most of us don’t have the bucks for a quality stone. At Rose of Sharon Jewelry, we hand make beautiful and affordable emerald green jewelry alternatives.

Emerald Isle is a magnificent deep emerald green color.

The pendant is a CZ set in sterling silver which Sandra Lee combined with deep green faceted Czech glass beads and sparkling Swarovski crystal spacers.

This  one-of-a-kind necklace measures 17 1/2 inches which is a perfect length for a cocktail dress with scoop or V neck. 

I love the clasp she chose as it is as classy as the rest of the necklace

The matching earrings measure 1 1/4 inches.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Abiding Faith, one of Betty’s cross necklaces, has been featured here before.

The cross has emerald colored Swarovski crystals which she matched with larger bicone Swarovski beads.

 

 

 

 

Betty’s Gloriosa necklace (cross shown at left) is another lovely design were the color emerald is featured.

This cross necklace is an illusion style with a scattering of emerald green crystals. Gloriosa is a 2-piece set with a matching pair of earrings.

 

 

 

 

 

Emeralds aren’t always deep green (those are the priciest) so this soft green necklace might be more to your liking.

The handmade Wisdom cross necklace has a softer more translucent emerald green color in the cross and in the faceted bead strand.

 

 

 

 

I created this bracelet watch from some beautiful emerald colored glass beads. They are double drilled and strung with silver beads. You’ll find Hour Glass in our Etsy store where the A.F.F. Jewelry collection is featured.

are 2 and 3-piece necklace sets are a fast way to accessorize. With matching or coordinating earrings and bracelets, your favorite outfit will have a traditional polished look.

Whether you wear them in combo or individually, Rose of Sharon Jewelry has 60 handmade necklace sets to choose from. The designs vary from classically elegant to bold and colorful. Necklace sets are also a great value as we build in a discount for our cherished customers.

Sandra Lee loves to wear and make necklace sets so you’ll find your distinct style in many of the choices.

 

Lady of the Sea features a finely hand carved bone Mermaid (the lady). Sandra Lee combines mother-of-pearl beads with bright fuchsia pearls. Beautiful Bali sterling silver beads and an ornate sterling silver hook and eye clasp add to its drama and sparkle. The long coordinating earrings feature the fuchsia pearls.

 

 

 

 

Darkness Falls is a 3-piece set from Sandra featuring grey/green Jade contrasted with mother-of-pearl beads. Pyramid-shaped sterling silver beads add additional interest. The matching bracelet includes a sterling silver toggle clasp. The 2- 1/4 inch earrings carry on the simple single strand Sandra Lee design.

 

 

 

 

Orange U Glad is another creation from Sandra Lee in our necklace set collection.

The natural carnelian beads range in color from grey to a subdued orange. Did you know that orange is a great accent color for many of the dresses, jackets and shirts in your wardrobe?

Sandra has added plenty of finely crafted Bali sterling silver beads and clasps to give you the elegance a handmade necklace and bracelet needs.

All the above necklace sets are available now in the Rose of Sharon Jewelry store.

Even snow on the ground won’t stop me from preparing for Spring! Pulled out all the garden catalogs, ordered more plants and today I’m featuring two great handmade jewelry designs that shout Spring!

Pink = Spring for a gardener like me. And nothing compares to the bold pink of Candy Jade.

Fetching in Pink is a handmade pink Candy Jade necklace with matching earrings and bracelet from the talented Sandra Lee.

Sandra loves to make matching pieces so this Fetching In Pink set includes earrings (left) and a wonderful bracelet. You can wear them together for a traditional coordinated look or separately for just a splash of Jade.

 

 

 

 

 

April Remembered is a lovely enameled floral pendant accented with Swarovski crystals on a silver chain. Betty created this design and says she' hopes someone who loves flower will wear it with pride.
